Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O, no! It is an ever-fix'd mark,
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come;
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me prov'd,
I never writ, nor no man ever lov'd.

i love it
william shakespear is the best poet there is. he gets into your soul. theres this depth in his poetry that just gets into your soul and sometimes makes you want to cry.

The point
The point is that love that changes is not love. It's about unconditional love that outlasts time, aging, and the doom of anything else. It's about love being fixed and constant.

And your point is...
Ok, so does this mean life sucks and so does my love because it's all the same difference? Edge of doom lover.
I would like vows that spell out the marriage. I.E., I promise not to overeat if you promise to not smoke, drink and fool around. If you cut the grass I will throw my maxipads away immediately after use. If you do the laundry on Wednesday, I'll do it on Saturday right before I give you a ____. If you make enough money, I won't have to stop tanning and getting my feet shaved. We'll have unlimited access to one another's credit report. If you mess mine up, I get the house free and clear, edge of doom or not.
